Dinners Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Kinda uninspired lately, although I haven’t had any complaints. I’m trying to reduce my shopping and use what I have but it’s not working that great. There’s always something that someone just HAS TO have. Might as well shop.

Picnic at Blumenhoff winery Saturday (wine not pictured.) We shared a bottle of the Missouri Weinland and had some hot spiced wine afterward. Got a bottle of Utopia to take home for later.

Kinda Tuscan bean soup with chicken sausage. Served with crackers and the A2 smoked Gouda we got from the TG farmers market (not pic’d.) I’m gonna need to go back there just for the cheese.

Japanese beef curry made from scratch. Still not quite right. Next time I’ll try a sweeter apple with zero fresh ginger I think. At least the texture was perfect.

How is it already the last night of my sons fall break? All we did was feed him. He seems happy with that.

Chicken katsu, arugula & tomato, cucumber wakame salad, kimchi, rice, miso soup.

Chicken & veggie udon with TJs tempura birds nests and what was supposed to be soft boiled eggs (but I forgot about them.)

Build your own burritos, tacos or bowls with slow cooker taco chicken or homemade chorizo with all the fixin’s

The Boy has been talking about the loaded fries from Tikka Tangy for a while. They’re the first thing he asked for when he was heading home for fall break. Did not disappoint.

First proper meal for the Boy’s fall break was his favorite teriyaki bbq burgers on homemade buns, served with coleslaw, chips (not pic’d) and bbq chicken legs for Girl who ended up eating a burger anyway. Leftover meat & buns will go to lunches so that’s a win for me too.

Quick lunch with Grownup Girl at a Venezuelan cafe in Tulsa before heading back home with Boy for his fall break. I got the fried pork with yuca fries, guacamole & tostones. So good!

Blackened ahi tuna steak (rare) served with chickpea yellow rice and salad

Chaotic and kinda tired lately. I lean heavily toward Asian food when I’m feeling indecisive but needing healthy food. It covers my deficiencies 😅Shrimp pad see ew for late dinner Wednesday, yaki-udon for lunch with friend Thursday, Thai curry for dinner.

Crockpot beef roast with green beans & mushrooms, rice, very sour radish kimchi. Super lazy dinner, but I was baking sourdough so that’s my excuse. (Nevermind that I was also reading a book since both those things are hands off.)

Duck egg and chanterelle mushrooms from TG farmers market for breakfast along with avocado, watercress, raspberries, sweet potato, & coffee.

Saturday night after church I made super simple sheet pan chicken thighs with zucchini & peppers served with sweet potatoes (made ahead) and garden salad
Sunday was bibimbap and kimchi soup. Made a new batch of kimchi after dinner since I used it all up

Last night: fish & shrimp butter curry, yellow rice, salad.
This morning: Comet’s breakfast bun at Tower Grove farmers market. I found A2 cheddar at another stand! Bought mushrooms, pears & veggies too. Lots of fun stuff but a little more expensive than Lake St Louis.

Mabo tofu that somehow turned out spicier than normal. Served with greens, mini veggie egg rolls (frozen from Costco) and purple rice.

Monday: Japanese fried chicken, rice, kimchi, sweet potato, salad
Tuesday: taco bowls with rice, beef, pinto beans, salad, green salsa
Wednesday: roast chicken & potatoes, spinach salad

Trying to switch to healthy mode but someone had a birthday. Breakfast of good intentions, Carolina brisket sandwich from Sugarfire with green beans (love their sides,) mocha cloud cake from Tous Les Jour. Thats it. No more celebrations 😅
